March 16.

As the snow melted due to the severe cold, the damage was slightly better when heading west from Ivota than to the east. Because Lord Sally resisted the pressure and stabilized prices, spring ploughing was already in place at this time, and even the cold-tolerant oats sown earlier were ready for the first crop.

If the situation is good, this year's harvest in Ivota should not be affected.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Sally in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Sally, where are we going to rest next?"

Nefi's voice sounded beside him, causing the duke to smile and turn his head back and say, "You've just set off thinking about the next place?" I think you've been locked up by that guy from Roddy for too long. ”

"If it weren't for Brother Roddy, I wouldn't have been able to come out this time!"

"You'll speak for him, cut!"

"It was meant to be!"

The sound of chirping echoed in the carriage, and the convoy from the city of Hollier was slowly driving down the main road to Leonardo da Vinci's domain.

Roddy had joined Parl and Sodlore three days earlier, and had set out with his men to Hollier City to join Sally, a force of over five hundred, including guards of honor, private soldiers, logisticians, and servants of all kinds.

In the past two months, Sodrol had trained the barbarian recruits to a slightly different momentum - the makeshift large armor was mounted on the carriage, and these large soldiers now walked without the usual casualness, and for the sake of neatness, their originally thick hair was directly shaved into bald heads, and their beards were treated with "normalization", which looked majestic from a distance.

The deterrent power of skinheads is still amazing.

The seventy-three veterans who accompanied them were the opposite, because they had experienced too many bloody battles, these elites built by Luo Di were now more arrogant than others. They sat lazily on their horses, most of them did not even hold the reins, and relied purely on their bodies to steer their horses forward—relaxed but always in order, a skill that only those who know how to see the way out, and in the eyes of most they were mere auxiliaries at the rear of the group.

As the military commander, Sodrol followed the middle of the group on horseback, but he always looked into the distance without saying a word. These days, even Erwin could see that there was something wrong with the commander's silence, and sometimes he had to listen to the soldier's report twice before he could react, and he was obviously preoccupied.

So as a "close guard", Erwin also deliberately ran outside Roddy's carriage to say this, but he found that he was completely worried about it - Roddy waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about these, just follow the team with peace of mind." Sodrore's fine. ”

Erwin didn't bother to think about anything, touched his bald head, and ran away with the steel tower shield.

Closing the car window, Roddy didn't have the smile he had before: "Everyone has a story behind it... Sodrore has been able to endure all these years, and his heart is probably depressed enough. ”

"Honestly, if you asked me to settle accounts with the Pope of the 'Viper Cross', I would also feel a little dazed. ”

Akasha, who sat across from Roddy, poured hot milk tea for him as she spoke—a valuable drink that would be difficult for commoners to drink, but now that he was a baron, Roddy did not reject these so-called "luxury" customs. After all, in the era in which he lived, the quality of life that ordinary people had was probably not envied by most nobles.

"This time it's really hard for you. ”

He suddenly sighed, because she and Sally were already a little repulsive to each other, and it was even more embarrassing that the two were on the same team at this time.

"I've said it many times, and this path is my choice... You always feel guilty about something. ”

Akasha had a gentle voice and a quiet smile.

Roddy knew that there were some things that could not be forced, and some wishful thinking could only be thought about after all. So he simply changed the subject: "Those undead are following in the forest, can you make sure that you don't lose control?"

"No problem, in fact, now I don't have to be distracted to give them instructions all the time, basically... Just tell them to follow quietly, it's not as complicated as you think. ”

"yes? I don't really know much about that. ”

Luo Di nodded, but he muttered a little in his heart: the retinue of those "necromancers" in the game had never heard that they could be controlled so easily, and summoning the undead with the ability to "execute orders by themselves" was something that only those high-level mages could do.

Maybe it's because the scroll itself was of a high level in the first place, right?

The long journey in the carriage was extremely boring, and Akasha and Roddy chatted for a while and then each held a book and read it, but when it was time for the convoy to rest at noon, there was a sudden knock on the door:

"Roddy, there's something to discuss with you. ”

Sally was completely businesslike, apparently aware that Akasha was in the carriage.

The little priest sitting next to Luo Di pursed his lips, muttered, "This has to be checked", and consciously got up and said: "Then I'll go down for a walk first, and after staying for a long time, it's time to move my body." ”

Roddy couldn't solve the conflict between the two, so he nodded and didn't say anything, just shook Akasha's hand gently before leaving the carriage - this softened Akasha's stiff cheeks a lot, and as she stepped out of the car, she glanced at Sally who was standing there, and both of them just smiled and nodded, but didn't say hello.

However, when Akasha saw that Nephie was there, she smiled and chatted a few words, and then turned to leave—Nefi, who was a little ghost, immediately sensed the subtle atmosphere in the air, and blinked her eyes, but did not speak.

Sally got into the carriage like a victorious lion cub at this time, and as soon as she entered, she "snorted" and pouted: "Lord Baron's life is very chic, someone takes care of him, and the journey is not boring at all." ”

"Okay, okay, come back with me. ”

Roddy couldn't cry or laugh, and then leaned to the side - he originally wanted Sally to sit next to him, but Neffie "swished" first, and sat there directly and said with a smile: "Uncle Erwin is so amazing, I just saw him go to the woods to hunt a wild boar and come back, and now he is roasting!"

"He's better at hunting than anyone else... If you're hungry, I'll have someone bring you some. ”

Sally was pushed to sit across from Roddy, but she was too embarrassed to switch places with Nephie, so she changed the subject and said, "The cardinal has already sent a reply, and he trusts your judgment very much. ”

Roddy was not surprised by this, nodded, and then looked at Sally, which obviously meant "What else do you have to say"?

Sally didn't have anything to say, she just saw that Akasha had been unhappy with Roddy, and she deliberately came over to occupy it for a while... But now that Nephie was beside her, she couldn't make any too intimate movements, otherwise she would have locked the door and threw herself into Roddy's arms.

"That's... Nephi, you see Erwin's roasted wild boar seems to be good, why don't you get some and let's eat it together?"

"Yes, yes. Nephi nodded in reply and went out the door. Sally's face was overjoyed, and she was about to get up and sit next to Roddy, but she saw Nephie running back in the blink of an eye: "I told Uncle John, and he said he would bring it right away!"

That's what she said, but the words "You don't want to bluff me away" were almost written in her eyes.

Sally really wanted to pinch her - this little Nizi is usually the sister of this sister, and she didn't hesitate to sell her teammates at the critical moment!

But after all, she was just a child, and Sally didn't take it seriously, and continued to chat with Roddy about the recent situation of "Da Vinci's Territory", and at this time Sally sighed a little: "I also said that I would take the 'Fuser Silver Mine' there and give it to you as a gift, but it caused such a thing." ”

In the previous letter, she did not mention her intentions for this mine, but when she said this, Roddy raised her eyebrows in some surprise: "Fuser Silver Mine? You wouldn't mean the Kot Mountains, would you?"

"Da Vinci's territory is just that mountain, where else could it be?"

Sally gave him a blank look, and that coquettish look inexplicably made Roddy's throat dry, and he tried to pull back to his senses, and said in a low voice, "That's why they dealt with you, right?"

"It's pretty much the same, but it's all sooner or later, just a little earlier. ”

"How are you going to deal with it?"

"I don't know, see if you want that mine, it's a big deal to tear your face. ”

Sally said it easily, but if she really wanted to be willful, the price she paid was definitely not small. Roddy knew that she would do absolutely anything for herself, let alone offend the nobles, and it was probably no problem to work against the royal family - but for now, in his eyes, there was another way to solve this matter...

"It's okay, you'll listen to me then..."

He babbled a few words, but the key Sally couldn't ask the result, she knew that Roddy was selling off, so she snorted twice and didn't ask more. After a while, Butler John brought lunch, and the three of them had a beautiful meal in the carriage.

Sally is a duke, so naturally she won't stay here for long, so she got up and left after lunch, and Roddy hurriedly got out of the car to see her off, but when she came back, she had a grinning expression... Apparently she was pinched a few times by Sally.

When they sat down again, there were only two people left in the carriage, Roddy and Nefi.

The little fox was quite proud at this time: What are they, I'm not the only one left now!

"Brother Roddy, I'm sleepy. ”

"Then go to sleep, I'll get a blanket. ”

The meal was full and empty, and Luo Di naturally didn't think this request was too much. What's more, Nefi always likes to stay in this carriage these days.

"I'll just cover yours, it's really tiring to ride in the carriage. Naffie didn't let him go, and sat down next to Roddy as he spoke, deliberately squeezing him with his little buttocks, "There's no pillow here, let me sleep next to you, okay?"

"This..."

Roddy hesitated... Isn't that soft cushion on the other side a pillow?

"Brother Roddy—"

"Good, good..."

Roddy couldn't help but be coquettish at all. If he is a father, he is definitely the kind who spoils his children.

Little Lori smiled and put her head on Luo Di's lap, and said, "I'll sleep for a while, if Brother Luo Di's leg is numb, call me well." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. ”

Roddy carefully covered her with a blanket and tucked the corners. This appearance made Nephie's heart inexplicably settled, she didn't want to sleep, she just wanted to be close to Roddy, but because of her relaxed spirit, she really fell asleep within a few minutes.

In the quiet carriage, Roddy looked at Nefi, who was almost lying in his arms, and was very quiet - the little fox looked very quiet with his eyes closed, and his green face was developing towards the eccentric little beauty in his impression, he was in a daze, his fingertips unconsciously stroked the tips of the fiery red hair, and unconsciously remembered the scenes in his memory...

Orc wars, burning villages...

"The nightmare won't happen again. ”

Roddy looked out the window with deep eyes and muttered softly.
